Youth Group News - January 2003

We've already had a number of successful events. Don't miss the activities for the rest of the year - look at the list below. There will be a charge for some of these activities - you will get plenty of notice about the amount as the dates approach. Watch for fliers distributed at Religious School and at Machon. The advisors appreciate RSVPs. For the 7th and 8th grades, contact Annie Furie, and for the 4th - 6th grades, please contact Judy Jamison Mindlin.

This year, the 7th and 8th grade group will be running the Passover Food Drive. TASTY will continue to run the Yom Kippur Food Drive, but are sharing the fun with their younger colleagues.
